I'm home and it's been swell. I just go into the hospital once a week now for spinal chemotherapy and a check up with my doctors and nurse practitioners. This week was a little different because I got a slow IV blood product called IVIG; its someone else's immunoglobulin, those little things that float around in our blood and help us fight off infections. I'm thankful that generous folks out there donate their blood. It really makes a difference. The day after my trip into Children's Hospital, I did get a fever, and for each fever Mom has to run me back in to the ER for some extra lab work. It's a little tricky when you get even just a little bit sick when you have leukemia. My fever finally broke and I'm back to feeling well and eating my favorite food: pizza!
Happy in my hospital crib.
Reading.
Contemplating the universe.
My IVIG.
Do I look feverish? This is me at 10 pm, waiting for the docs in the ER.
Playing piano with my sis.
Smiling for Mom.
Signing 'apple' in my favorite holiday shirt.
This year for Halloween I'm going to be the Itsy Bitsy Spider.
